Recently, 12 students from NASTT’s Student Chapter at UMASS Lowell attended a Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) site visit on location with Liberty Utilities in Somerset, Massachusetts. The students observed an HDD river crossing project. A safety briefing was held and all the necessary PPE was donned prior to the students entering the job site.
Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the visit and found it to be very educational on the HDD process and how trenchless technology is used in utility work.
Many thanks to Liberty Utilities for hosting the students and helping to educate the future of trenchless!
